Block Diagram

The PCTEL RM-WIFI-AC-2x2-HP WiFi Radio Module is compliant with the IEEE
802.11ac Wave 2 standard. It is a single-band 5 GHz radio with 2 RF chains. An
EEPROM memory is included for calibration information storage. There is no
external volatile memory for application processing.

The Qualcomm Technology QCA9898 5 GHz WiFi radio transceiver chip provides
the radio module functionality. An external power amplifier for each channel is
provided to achieve high transmit power.
